Broadening the optical bandwidth of quantum cascade lasers using RF noise current perturbations
- Abstract:
-
We report on the broadening of the optical bandwidth of a distributed feedback quantum cascade laser (QCL) caused by the application of radio frequency (RF) noise to the injection current. The broadening is quantified both via Lamb-dip spectroscopy and the frequency noise power spectral density (PSD). The linewidth of the unperturbed QCL (emitting at ∼5.3 μm) determined by Lamb-dip spectroscopy is 680±170 kHz, and is in reasonable agreement with the linewidth of 460±40 kHz estimated by int...
